After 13 years of renting the property out with Grisdales we decided to put it up for sale with them. A good and fair price was negotiated by debra, any queries where quickly sorted and hassle free. It took 8 weeks from start to finsh. We where very pleased with the work that debra did on our behalf and would recommend Grisdales to anyone wanting to sell a property.

Overall a very poor performance by Grisdale. We had to do most of the viewings ourselves. They did not vet the viewer who made an offer which we accepted and then lost considerable time before having to readvertise because he didn't have the funds and we consequently lost the house we were purchasing. The advert was never in the Cockermouth Office window and was limited to Whitehaven. We then had no correspondence at the final house move except for this survey. I would not recommend them considering the £6K fees charged.

Raymond · 20 March 2025 · Grisdales Whitehaven

Agent replied · 24 August 2024

Morning Raymond, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Grisdales did not meet your expectations. We understand there were issues with the original buyer. We have a system in place to vet buyers and these checks were completed. Unfortunately, the buyer chose not to respond post-offer, which led to delays. We have taken steps to prevent similar issues from this individual in the future. While we did conduct some viewings, we appreciate your frustration with having to handle some yourself and apologise if you felt unsupported during this time. Regarding the advertisement of your property, due to its location, we focused our marketing efforts through the nearest office. We also utilise Rightmove, OnTheMarket, our website, and email marketing. If you had preferred additional exposure, we would have been happy to discuss this with you. It’s disappointing to hear that you felt our service fell short overall. Our goal was to ensure a smooth transaction, which included arranging a short-term tenancy outside of the usual 6-month term for your buyer to facilitate the sale. We were pleased when the sale completed, but we regret the lack of communication you experienced during the final stages. This does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide, and we are working to improve our communication practices. Once again, we apologise for the difficulties you encountered and appreciate your feedback. We're always striving to improve and provide the best possible service to our clients, and your insight is invaluable in helping us achieve that. If you would like to discuss your concerns further with a member of our team, please contact us at 01946 693931 or whitehaven@grisdales.co.uk. Thank you for your understanding and best of luck with your onward property journey. Grisdales

We tried to find a property in different cities through different agencies and we didn’t have enough time. We were really lucky to have Daria in this process. She was really on time and always available and answered all of our calls and questions patiently and carefully. She helped us to have a great experience in this city.

I recently had to find a rental property and was worried that as I am on benefits it would be a problem. Daria worked very hard on my behalf to reassure the landlord that I am a reliable and good tenant. Thanks Daria!

Lynn the lady who met us at the property was lovely, the problem came to the sales negotiator we made an offer were encouraged to go higher because the vendor would want more, we waited 2 days for a response to be told they had sold it to someone else and the deal was done, no option to offer higher , after waiting for a response and to be told this was a huge blow for us. Very poor form, would not use them were no help.
